I had the best experience this past weekend where you were doing the Superbowl Gospel Sing. My husband and I had volunteered to help for Superbowl Host Committee and one of our assignments was to work the Gospel Sing during the day in helping out in getting setup. My husband wasn’t excited about the assignment but went along with it cause that is what we were asked to do. I daily listen to KLOVE and other Christian music so I was all too familiar with how beautiful your voice is. My husband goes to church with us but I think more because we go and he wants to show the family unity so we go with our two boys. So to make the long story short. We were able to sit and listen to you warm up on Friday and my husband was in amazed. He didn’t say it but I could see it in how intent he was inlistening to you. I thought no more about it until last night. During the Superbowl he went upstairs and was downloading songs from iTunes and low and behold I heard him listening to your songs. I didn’t think I would ever see the day that my husband would enjoy Christian music but it so warmed my heart knowing he was touched by your voice and words. I know God is working through you to touch so many people. God’s Blessings to you!

Hi Natalie! I caught part of an interview you did Friday night in Houston, Texas on KSBJ. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that you are very outspoken on human trafficking. Our women’s group at our church is partnering with Redeemed Ministries to bring awareness to our area in Beaumont, Texas. We have developed a big heart for helping the victims of this heinous industry that society is so ignorant to. During your interview you spoke of a designer that employs those rescued out of human trafficking, however I missed her name and the name of her company. Would please give me the names? It would be greatly appreciated. We are looking For different ways that we can support the rehabilitation of the victims rescued. Thank you so much!

Where do I begin?
You have made such an impact in my life!
I only own two of your albums – Relentless and Love Revolution, but WOW!
In just the past 5 years of my life, I have had to deal with adultery, prostitution, medical negligence almost killing my son and I during childbirth, losing my home, my job, immediate family members passing away, marriage breakdown, and now as I sit at the computer wasting time and drinking wine, I find myself hearing “Drowning the tears won’t make it go away. It’s robbing my soul so I’m taking this mask off my face” and I wonder how I got here?
So many times in my life I’ve asked myself How did I get here? So many bad things happen because other people choose to do what they know is wrong, hurtful & vicious. Why do bad things happen to good people? Nowhere in the Bible does it say that becoming a Christian means your life will be perfect – in fact is says “In this world, you WILL have trouble” (John 16:33) but it also says “In me, you will find peace.”
Through you’re music I am reminded that God has a purpose and a plan – He WILL make a way where we see no way. He is RELENTLESS in His pursuit of us, just as we should be in our pursuit of Him. But we aren’t. Yet your music reminds me that THAT is exactly was grace is all about!
Your songs “Our Hope Endures” and “Make a Way” have impacted me in such a way that I cannot put it into words! I have listened to these albums HUNDREDS of times and yet when I hear “And so she bowed her head to pray, And she cried, Jesus, please make a way
And she heard Him say… I’ll make a way, I’ll do WHATEVER IT TAKES, even though it won’t be easy. I have a plan and though you may not understand, today, I’ll make a way.”
I’m am sobbing right now . . . because I have been through so much and had a very hard life for being just 29 years old!
The most recent thing that I have had to deal with is my husbands friend (who is married) has not only been pursuing me (for the past 18 months) but recently sent me some explicit images of himself in the hope of attracting my attention. But I am reminded of the lines from In Christ Alone, “No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand, Till He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.”
Your music reminds me that there is a hope to be found in Christ, if only we can be gracious as he is gracious.
I often pray that He breaks my heart for what breaks His, that He shows me things as He sees them, and I often tell Him that there is still hope when my faith runs out! I am a singer and songwriter, but when I try to choose a song of yours to share with others, I can’t narrow it down to one or two (or five!). And I think that that’s because I need you; other people who need me don’t need me to feed them you. (I hope that makes sense!) Hope is believing God can; Faith is knowing He will!
All I can do some days is hope!
If you get nothing more from this, then at least know that following God’s call for your life has kept me under His wing when I never thought I possibly could be there.
God bless you for all that you do!

Hi Natalie. My name is Angela and I have a story that I need to get to you. I have been trying to contact you to make sure it is okay that I put your song on my personal blog, which I purchased and downloaded first. My friend’s child is missing (for 5 weeks now) and we have no idea where she is. I decided to launch a facebook page first to generate more buzz about her so people would see her face and then decided to also do a website. I’ve never done one before, and I don’t honestly know the rules about it but if you look at my website I would appreciate it. I want to do everything legally that I’m supposed to. YOUR song “Our Hope Endures” plays in our home dozens of times a day. It is THE MOST appropriate song for what is happening to Ayla’s family and your song, combined with the photo slideshow, has been inspiring to Ayla’s family and others that are desperate for answers. Please feel free to view it and message me about anything I need to do to keep your song on my page. Thank you in advance. [www]ThisLittleLightOFmaine[com]

I recently was saved from a life not worth living where I was so lost and so broken. I woke up one night in 2010 and realized I wasn’t in love anymore with my husband of 14 years and just felt like I had lost everything I was and had changed everything for this man. I pleaded for a divorce after going through marriage counseling where it only got worse and finally he agreed in 2010. But then I felt so lost and alone only having my 9 year old son half of the time. I fell into pretty bad times emotionally and was desparate for some type of internal peace and about that time I found my old Bible I received when I was confirmed that was quite dusty since I had not regularly gone to church (or read my Bible) since I was about 14. I opened it up to a random page and the first line I read was Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” That night I started praying again every night and that Sunday after reading the Scripture I went to Church for the first time in a very long time and the service was Baptism Renewal. I was bawling like a child as that is exactly what I needed to know that I had found a way out of my misery and I had gone back to my maiden name and I felt like God was truly pleased with the path I was taking. I joined that Church and the Praise Choir and this Christmas Eve I sang in the Christmas Eve Service. What a difference one year can make in a person’s life! So to make a long story short I love your song “Alive”. The lyrics are so haunting and hopeful all at the same time, a phenomenal song both lyrically and also vocally incredible, it always gives me goose bumps every time I hear it! My two favorite areas lyrically are “every part of my heart cries” and then “what other heart would let itself be broken every time until he healed mine. You, only you, could turn my darkness into dawn”. I am so Thankful I personally cried out and asked to be saved, last year was full of turmoil but the only thing that got me through it was knowing I was finally living the life that I was meant to live putting my Faith First and I finally have internal peace. When you sing “Alive” it reminds me of how I was saved and how so many others can cry out and be saved also. Thank you so much for your glorious tribute to our Lord Jesus Christ and his Resurrection reminding us all of his undying love for us! I had forgotten God for such a long time but I realize now he had never forgotten me
